George, you can have my share. It's being a frog-drowner out there
again today, and I'm about to rust into place permanently. From
the looks of what's bouncing on top of the hot-tub cover, there's
a little hail in this storm, too. You have to understand, PNW rains
are traditionally like a heavy mist... wipe off your shoulders and
you're dry 10 minutes after coming in. This stuff is coming down in
buckets. *AND* it's not supposed to rain more than a couple of
times between May and September here. Mediterranean climate and
all that.
Gee, if I wanted to freeze all year 'round, I woulda moved someplace
really interesting, like Little America.
